Just being a white supremacist should render one mentally incompetent.
Dana Ericson was charged with attempted murder, battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated battery resulting in serious bodily injury after police said he attacked an 18-year-old high school student, reported the Brown County Democrat.
Police said the 59-year-old Ericson admitted to hacking Zhang Yue, a foreign exchange student at Brown County High School, in the back with a hatchet Feb. 18 as she took photographs for a class project in downtown Nashville, Indiana.
Ericson told police he targeted Yue because she was Asian, and he said he was trying to commit “ethnic cleansing” because he “hates those people.”
Yue was treated for a 2-inch wound near her spinal column and released later that same day to her host family.
